She has written about a range of periods in British history but is best known for her Tudor novels - mostly ''Literature/TheOtherBoleynGirl'', the success of which led to two film adaptations, a resurgent interest in the Tudors, and a flood of FollowTheLeader novels about women of the period. More recently she has been writing the bestselling ''[[Literature/TheCousinsWarSeries Cousins' War]]'' series, which follows the fortunes of various important women in the preceding historical period, the Wars of the Roses.

* AuthorUsurpation: For many years, she was known mostly for writing ''The Other Boleyn Girl'' and the rest of the ''Tudor Court'' series, though especially ''The Other Boleyn Girl''. Gregory had actually written a dozen novels before ''The Other Boleyn Girl'' that were quite successful (''A Respectable Trade'' even got a film adaptation in 1998), but her ''Tudor'' novels overshadowed them for much of the 2000s, to the point that reprintings of her older works came with "From the author of ''The Other Boleyn Girl''" stamped on the covers. She finally managed to move past this in the 2010s to a degree, becoming better known for the ''Cousins' War'' series. These days, Gregory is strongly associated with both her Tudor novels and her Wars of the Roses novels.

Philippa Gregory is a British (born in Kenya) HistoricalFiction writer. She has written about a range of periods in British history but is best known for her Tudor novels - mostly ''Literature/TheOtherBoleynGirl'', the success of which led to two film adaptations, a resurgent interest in the Tudors, and a flood of FollowTheLeader novels about women of the period. More recently she has been writing the bestselling ''[[Literature/TheCousinsWarSeries Cousins' War]]'' series, which follows the fortunes of various important women in the preceding historical period, the Wars of the Roses.

Gregory is widely regarded as a decent historian who does her research thoroughly, but her books do [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory frequently diverge from fact]], most famously in ''Literature/TheOtherBoleynGirl''[='=]s depiction of Mary Boleyn as a [[TheIngenue naïve ingénue]] seduced by the king, when in reality she was not only married but [[ReallyGetsAround had previously spent some time as the mistress of the King of France]]. She has, however, eschewed the Creator/DanBrown route, being careful not to claim that her books are totally accurate and open about the fact that she is a fiction writer who will often make things up. That said, it is very important to remember that though Gregory may use the term "historian" to describe herself, her [=PhD=] is in Eighteenth Century Literature, not history. She's not exactly the type of person you should cite in a history paper.
